Hi Shaun - try startpage=never:

ods pdf file="test.pdf" style=fancyPrinter startpage=never;
proc print data=sashelp.class;
title 'one';
run;
proc print data=sashelp.class;
title 'two';
run;

ods pdf close;

STARTPAGE=NEVER | NO | NOW | YES  - controls page breaks.

NEVER specifies not to insert page breaks, even before graphics procedures.

CAUTION: Each graph normally requires an entire page. The default behavior
forces a new page after a graphics procedure, even if you use STARTPAGE=NO.
STARTPAGE=NEVER turns off that behavior, so specifying STARTPAGE= NEVER
might cause graphics to overprint.

NO specifies that no new pages be inserted at the beginning of each
procedure, or within certain procedures, even if new pages are requested by
the procedure code. A new page will begin only when a page is filled or when
you specify STARTPAGE=NOW.

CAUTION: Each graph normally requires an entire page. The default behavior
forces a new page after a graphics procedure, even if you use STARTPAGE=NO.

STARTPAGE=NEVER turns off that behavior.
Alias: OFF
Tip: When you specify STARTPAGE=NO, system titles and footnotes are still
produced only at the top and bottom of each physical page, regardless of the
setting of this option. Thus, some system titles and footnotes that you
specify might not appear when this option is specified.

NOW forces the immediate insertion of a new page.

Tip: This option is useful primarily when the current value of the
STARTPAGE= option is NO. Otherwise, each new procedure forces a new page
automatically.

YES inserts a new page at the beginning of each procedure, and within
certain procedures, as requested by the procedure code.

Alias: ON
Default: YES

Subject: ODS pdf to print two tables on same page

Good afternoon all,

I am experimenting with ods printer pdf to print two summary tables.
The first has two data lines and the second has six. I am [basically]
doing:

<CODE>
ods printer pdf;
  file 'myfile.pdf;
  run;

proc print data=set1;
  run;

proc print data=set2;
  run;

ods printer close;
  run;
</CODE>

When I do this, the two tables print out on separate pages. I was
wondering if there is anyway to print them both on the same page.

TIA,
Shaun
